Touchpad not working on toshiba c650. I have ubuntu 12.04 installed. Right click works, nothing else.

Any Ideas about this? Guess I am looking for synaptics touchpad drivers.

Answer 1

For anyone who may need it later:

Found the drivers. Synaptics TouchPad driver for X.Org server

Just go to the ubuntu software centre and type in synaptics. It should come up with many entries with the same title. Choose the one that has been evaluated by other members (the one with stars)
